Yes I can feel i slight divot or I can "catch a fingernail". Not stock they are Superleggra 3 piece. The clear coat was removed from the aluminum lip and it was polished. Looks like a very light key mark. Im not sure I can get it on camera.

Metal polish like Mother's is a good start. If not 2000 grit sand paper would be my next best guess with metal polish to finish it.
